I have a very simple implementation of the DefaultModelBinder, I need it to fire some custom validation.
public class MyViewModelBinder : DefaultModelBinder
{
public override object BindModel(ControllerContext controllerContext, ModelBindingContext bindingContext)
{
ModelStateDictionary modelState = bindingContext.ModelState;
var model = (MyViewModel)base.BindModel(controllerContext, bindingContext);
var result = ValidationFactory.ForObject<MyViewModel>().Validate(model);
CustomValidation(result, modelState);
return model;
}
}
MyViewModel is a public sealed class. The model binder is registered in the Global.asax this way:
ModelBinders.Binders.Add(typeof(MyViewModel), new MyViewModelBinder());
The problem is that the model is never populated! But the MVC default model binder (I remove the registration in global.asax) works fine.
This is the view HTML:
<table>
<tr>
<td><label for="Name">Name</label></td>
<td><input id="Name" name="Name" type="text" value="" /></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><label for="Code">Code</label></td>
<td><input id="Code" name="Code" type="text" value="" /></td>
</tr>
</table> </div>
Every field matches a property of the model.
